Finished Deaths Door a little while ago, 100%.  It's a nice little indie and the price is right for it.   Worth it if you have the time.  I'm now in the process of installing the ascent.  I figure that one will take me longer to finish.

I bought Songs of Syx the other day. I had seen someone on YouTube playing it and it looked like just the kind of thing I was looking for. It's easy enough to get started, and I've currently got to a point where I could probably sit back and my villagers would take care of themselves for a while...but a new content update added armies, and I can see them floating around outside of my borders. I need to set up training and gather resources for swords and shields so that my villagers will be ok. But once that happens, I'll probably start eyeing-up the other territories and wondering if I could take them...before you know it, I'll be on a World domination run. :laugh:

Microsoft Flight Simulator - I’ve spent a lot of time recently just flying around different parts of the world admiring the graphics.


It’s a lot of fun flying across the town I live in and spotting various landmarks, its impressive how accurate the game is. I have found some randomly generated building that don’t exist in real life, however for the most part the game is really accurate. Flying over places like London with the UK & Ireland update installed really is quite stunning!


I do think Flight Simulator is the perfect game for Game Pass, its not a game I’d personally spend £50-60 on, however it is great to randomly load up and just have a fly about somewhere, admiring the graphics.

been playing the shit out of Skyward Sword HD. It's so much better with a normal controller scheme rather than motion controls. It didn't take too long for me to get used to the sword being on right stick.

Just got past the boss I could never beat in the past with motion controls and bathed my sword in the first upgrade flame (Y) 

God of War .

 

It is freaking great on ps5.

 

I traded my PS4 were I had this game and never really bothered to finish it - just dropped it somewhere in the middle.

 

Now with playstation now (or whatever it is called) I installed it again.

 

Damn it is so much better at 60fps - makes a lot of difference to me.

 

Maybe that is why I did not like it as much before - at 30 fps the game just did not play well 

 

Anyway - amazing game and I am definitely getting the sequel

 

 

 

Though I have to say I did enjoy God Of War 3 somewhat more... Sometimes you don't want the story - you just want to kill giant monster and titans as brutallly as possible.

 

But story is also good ;)

Yes it's awesome and I went back and got the platinum on it when the 60fps patch came out.

 

It's free with the 20 PS Plus collection games too if you subscribe to Plus.

Yeah that is it - plus.  I subscribed when I got ps5. It was a choice of paying for Plus (with tons of games) or buying 1 game outright. Easy choice. Paid for a year. 

 

I love ps exclusives - the Xbox is doing even better with their subscription - but I cannot ever give up on Playstation - the exclusives are just too good

Yep.  It took way too long to get anywhere near playable builds but we're there.  Probably sometime next year before it's solid but it's looking great.

It will either be the best game ever or the most spectacular failure that will be quoted for years to come

 

Personally I root for best game ever. But it is hard to tell

I just can't even tell anymore if these games have gotten too complicated to be fun or something.

 

I haven't really loved anything in the genre I can recall since Freelancer (though Darkstar One was pretty fun.)

Playing Sekiro with the "Long May the Shadows Reflect Hardcore" Mod, enjoying it, feels like a whole new game, much harder. 

 

Lol. Really one thing I did not see needed was TO INCREASE DIFFICULTY in that game... But whatever floats your boat

Just started Spider-Man Miles Morales on PS5, such a good and graphically gorgeous game.

I run through the main story pretty fast. Interesting game but not interesting enough for me to do all the side missions like I would do in some other open world games

I'll probably go for the platinum if it's not a pain in the ass.

Assassin's Creed Unity

Great game apart from a few online trophies which stopped me getting the platinum.

yeah it is a walking simulator, and yes i am having a lot of fun chilling and playing the stories.

 

this is not a challenging game by any means, it is more like TellTale game, and i love it.

 

ohh, and yeah - it is totally indie, does not run well, and stories are pretty cheesy and predictable.

 

still having fun in it ;)

if you like those types of simulation games then you should check out Power Washing Simulator. It's been weirdly popular lately, and from watching Markiplier's videos I can see why, it's so soothing lol

    • The funny thing here is that like 70% or so of the web browser users use 'Google Chrome' as web browser. What I don't understand is that why on earth would ANYONE choose 'Google Chrome' on Windows when 'Microsoft Edge' is not just better in most things, but it's already there right out of the box for the Windows users. Microsoft Edge has less data collection (yes, that's a fact), less RAM usage and is more optimized for Windows (as it's a Microsoft product) right out of the box. Sure, the way Microsoft is pushing Microsoft Edge on users might not be the best way of doing it and might need to change. But I would never choose 'Google Chrome' over 'Microsoft Edge' today anyways. I'm sure there was a period back in the days when 'Google Chrome' actually was better in most things, but that period is not today.
    • JetBrains rolls out IntelliJ IDEA update with Markdown preview fixes and more by David Uzondu Image via JetBrains IntelliJ 2026.1.3 from JetBrains has landed, bringing several highly requested bug fixes that target common UI glitches and terminal rendering issues. If you run tmux inside the integrated terminal, the IDE no longer renders the cursor above the active line. The Markdown preview bug, which was fixed in this release, had annoyed developers for quite some time, as the preview pane failed to render images saved outside the project directory. Instead of displaying the actual image, the IDE simply showed a broken image icon, a problem that stuck around for two years before this update. Over on Windows, developers running WSL can now use wsl.exe to spin up their environments without losing terminal functionality. In previous builds, launching a terminal shell with something like wsl.exe -d ubuntu inside a Windows-based project broke both shell integration and active process detection. Other bug fixes in this release include: An issue where Gradle sync incorrectly reported success as a failure on WSL when using Gradle 9.5.0. A syntax highlighting bug that flagged valid Java for-loop initialization blocks with multiple statements as incorrect. A warning bug that triggered a false non-null local variable alert when using JSpecify annotations. A database generation bug that hid the option to use a DELETE statement instead of a TRUNCATE checkbox. A Kotlin highlighting failure where an assertion error in the Gradle redundant library inspection broke error highlighting. A UI bug where the ComboBox popup lacked a maximum height restriction. A Snowflake syntax error where DataGrip failed to support the "create temp" command. A Svelte syntax parsing failure that incorrectly flagged quotes inside inline expressions. A VCS repository manager deadlock that triggered thread pool exhaustion. A memory leak where the LazyTree component kept all previous versions of a tree in memory. IntelliJ 2026.1.3 is the third bug fix release for the IntelliJ 2026.1 series. The first one landed back in April with a fix for the WSL Python interpreter freeze, another fix for guest participants using Emmet abbreviations, and corrected WildFly server deployment errors.
